DNeasy spin columns, DNeasy 96 plates, and all buffers should be stored dry, at room
temperature (15-25°C) and are stable for 1 year under these conditions.
DNeasy Blood & Tissue Kits contain a ready-to-use proteinase K solution, which is
supplied in a specially formulated storage buffer. Proteinase K is stable for at least
1 year after delivery when shared at room temperature. For storage longer than one
year or if ambient temperatures often exceed 25°C, we suggest storing proteinase K at
2-8°C.

DNeasy Blood & Tissue Kits are designed for rapid purification of total DNA (e.g.,
genomic, mitochondrial, and pathogen] from a variety of sample sources including
fresh or frozen animal tissues and cells, blood, or bacteria. DNeasy purified DNA is
free of contaminants and enzyme inhibitors and is highly suited for PCR, Southern
blotting, RAPD, AFLP, and RFLP appfications.
Purification requires no phenoi or chioroform extroction or aicohol precipitation, and
involves minima! handling. This makes DNeasy Blood & Tissue Kits highly suited for
simultaneous processing of muitipfe somp!es. For higher-fhroughput applications, the
DNeasy 96 Blood & Tissue Kit enables simuitaneous processing of 96 or 192 samples.
The buffer system is optimized to aibw direct cei! lysis foilowed by seiectsv® binding of
DNA to the DNeasy membrane. After lysis, fhe DNecsy Biood & Tissue spin-column
procedure can be completed in as little as 20 minutes. Using the DNeasy 96 Blood &
Tissue Kit, 96 or 1 92 samples can be processed in just 1 hour after lysis.
Simple cenfrifugafion processing comp!ete!y removes conhaminants and enzyme
inhibitors such as proteins and divotent cations, and oilows simultaneous processing of
muliiple samples in poraile!. In addition, DNeasy Blood & Tissue procedures are
suitable for a wide rang® of sample sizes.
Purified DNA is eluted in low-sait buffer or water, ready for use in downstream
applications. DNeasy purifisd DNA {ypically has an Awo/AwQ ratio between 1.7 and
1.9, and is up to 50 kb in size, with fragments of 30 kb predonninating. The DNeasy
procedure also efficiently recovers DNA fragments as small as 1 00 bp.
^iTG^ffiipte ssi^e. precsi^yr®
DNeasy Blood & Tissue procedurss are simpEe (see ffowchartj. Samples are first lysed
using proteinase K.* Buffering conditions are adjusteci to provide opKmal DNA-
binding conditions and the lysate is loaded onto the DNeasy Mini spin column or the
DNeasy 96 plate. During centrifugation, DNA is selectively bound to the DNeasy
membrane as contaminants pcss through. Remaining contaminants and enzyme
inhibitors are removed in two efficient wash steps and DNA ss then eluted in water or
buffer, ready for use. DNeosy purified DNA has Assc/Azso ratios of 1.7-1.9, and
absorbance scans show a symmetric peak at 260 nm confirming high purity.
Lysis efficiency can be improved by cei! dtsrup^on using a rotor-stator homogenizer, such as the QIAGEN
TissueRuptor, or a bead mil!, such as Ae Q1AGEN Tissuelyser. A suppienientary protocol allowing the
simultaneous disruption of up to 48 tissue samples using the QIAGEN 'Pssuetyser is availabie {rom
QIAGEN Technicai Services.

The DNeasy membrane combines the binding properties of a silica-based membrane
with siinple microspin technology or with the QIAGEN 96-Weii-Plate Cents-ifugation
System. DNA adsorbs to the DNeasy membrane in the presence of high concentrations
of chaotropic salt, which remove water from hydrated molecules in solution. Buffer
conditions in DNeasy Blood & Tissue procedures are designed to enable specific
adsorption of DNA to the silica membrane and optimal removal of contaminants one!
enzyme inhibitors.
